Our Mission

Salem United Method Church's mission is to create opportunities to connect in worship, study, and outreach in the name of Christ.

Our church is a member of the United Methodist Church, a Christian, worldwide denomination of more than 11 million people. Our denomination holds a number of shared beliefs and theological practices in common, and you’ll find an easy-to-understand, thorough overview of them at the official United Methodist Website.

Our Beliefs

We believe God’s grace is open to all.  We believe salvation is an open gift from God, accepted by individuals according to their own free will.  The United Methodist denomination is a “big tent” theologically, providing space for theological discourse and, at times, disagreement.

Like many other Christian groups, we affirm beliefs expressed in the Apostles Creed.  These include:

  • The belief in one God, who is the Creator and sustainer of the universe.

  • The belief in the Trinity, that there is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost

  • The belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is fully human and fully divine.
